In "Invasion," Earth is visited by an alien species threatening humanity's existence. The series follows ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to understand the chaos unfolding around them.

The series has been praised for its slow-burn pacing, intrigue, and character development.

"I'm so proud of what we've been able to do with our first two seasons of the show with our partners at Apple TV+ and our cast and crew," creator and executive producer Simon Kinberg said in a press release.

"This new season will continue to build on the scale, stakes and propulsion of the 'Invasion,' while keeping our characters front and center, bringing them together in ways that will hopefully surprise and most importantly move our audience, who have been so incredibly supportive and inspiring since day one."

"Invasion" made its initial debut on Apple TV+ in Ocober 2021, and returned for its second season in August 2023.

Apple TV+ also renewed its epic sci-fi saga "Foundation" for a third season in December.

    It's a soap opera. A long, boring soap opera. Guy cheats on his wife, girl falls in love with astronaut, tragedy ensues – and every once in a while an alien CGI blob pops up and kills a bunch of people. Pfft.

    Too harsh?

    Great show and the pacing works as an epic story. It feels like not much happens in the overall story, but there is a lot of character development in the middle. It isn't really that slow, it just the primary plot feels slow paced because it follows so many characters.

    I'm glad as nothing was resolved at the end of the second season. However, I do hope the third season wraps up the story.

    You’re not wrong, but maybe try increasing your dosage of Ritalin. :smile:

    Great, now do “For All Mankind”, which has surprisingly not been renewed yet. With the news that production on “Foundation” has been halted amidst budget issues, it’s starting to look like Apple is becoming more budget-conscious with its big sci-fi franchises. If they can maintain the quality of the shows at lower budgets, that’s great, but it would be sad to see such big creative swings hobbled or even cancelled because Apple wants to see an even bigger profit margin on Services revenue.

    There’s slow-burn, and then there’s nothing flippin’ happening. Entire first season: nothing happens. Second season: almost nothing happens. The payoff isn’t there for me.

    I watch it because...scifi. But now I also read while the show is on. Little kids inexplicably running away, teens walking and walking, and teen alien killer recently undead (?) not being able to kill aliens anymore or remember why, Japanese woman never quite getting love requited by alien-absorbed lover but meeting teen alien killer in alien maze of some sort. I get the multi-stringed, episodic nature of the show, but it's time to wrap the strings up into a blanket, or at least a washcloth.
